The main road through Hastings Florida is SR-207. Just to the west of town on the SR is a Farmers Stand that sells a lot of local produce. THEY WERE VERY BUSY!
I stopped there Wednesday and they were selling Cauliflower Heads the size of Basket Balls!! They were selling them for $1.50 a head.
I bought 3, gave one to a friend, blanched one and froze it (filled 2-1 gallon zip-locks) and pressure cooked the other and had for supper with butter and Velveeta! Left-overs in the fridge.
They also had HUGE heads of Green Cabbage for $1.25, Huge Red Heads for $2.00
Also bought 2 of the Reds and gave 1 to the same friend.
Everything was BEAUTIFUL! If I only could grow that great. I am only 40 miles north but worlds apart.
There were many, many acres of cabbage visible from the highway and fields prepped for the Tater crop. Not sure if they were planted yet.

Sounds great. I've never seen cauliflower like that, but we sure do like cauliflower and cabbage.

If they weren't so cheap, I would think they had been shipped in from Texas! :laughing:
